At this moment I do not know who to write about for my hyperessay. I could just go on YouTube, type in media art, and see what pops up, but I'm looking for something more specific.
It is difficult for me because I didn't have an artist as an influence while working on my project.
I was influenced by the mere strength and humanity of the stories I read about in Listening is An Act of Love by Dave Isay and from seeing my first digital stories. To me, there is normally no need to make things complicated, because a simple story made only of words can be so powerful.
But I wanted to let the audience play a role and be invested in the story as if it was their own. I wanted them to have to make a difficult decision just like they would in their own lives. And that became the point of my project in the beginning.
I wish I had known about responsive environments from the start. I would not necessarily have been able to achieve something like that, but it would have helped me to figure out what was really important to me in my project: which is 1) the story but 2) the way the participant is involved in the recreating of the story.
